  Validate Input: Ensure that any data entry or configuration process includes validation checks to prevent this error from occurring in the future.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct values or the implications of changing them, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with a financial expert familiar with the specific financial instruments you are working with.
